[PQR] Nilrem Affliction Profile

[nilrem2004]

Yes now we have 4 shards as standard, and that 5% nerf on GoSac in regards on how much damage GoSaC boosts us isn't that much. I ran some sims on my lock with 4 set bonus and 495 ilevel and it is more like 1-2% overall damage nerf. So it won't change anything for us really apart from freeing 1 glyph slot. So we can fill it with healthstone glyph or Soulstone maybe

Edit: but removing KJ spell should cripple KJ a bit since you don't have a spell to cast on situations where you need to move fast. This needs to be checked since if it's true it will be a nerf to KJ.

So long as we're not forced into using pets again I'll be happy . KJ thing not so worried about.

nilrem how do u use the profile for wind lord, when u have to do spear

[nilrem2004]

I hope we won't gonna have to use pet's again. I like this "mage style" we're into now :P

btw: I'm looking into the profile more deeply for some strange bugs. Got it to hang today in LFR when clearing trash before Protectors. I started profilr while grp was already clearing....can't get why...

The GoSac nerf was only the first adjustment to it. I'd expect it to drop another 10% to make it competitive with pets. As for KJ, the change is fine. It just means that you just can't mindlessly cast while moving. Profiles that support KJC just need to have added functionality that doesn't channel/hard cast during movement.

If we don't channel or hardcast during movemnt what's the point of KJ? Archimode is much better then.

You take spear, put your spear target on focus, and make sure you manually throw spear on your focus before pull, profile will then maintain spear on your focus and it will turn off focus dotting.

I found a bug. When a friendly target is focused, the script does nothing.

Yea I reported this before, just go into the offensive spells ability and change return true under Unitexists focus to return false, i.e. change it to this:

if UnitExists("focus") and not spearcheck then
if not UnitCanAttack("player","focus")
or ( not UnitAffectingCombat("focus") and not SpecialAggro("focus") and not UnitIsPlayer("focus") )
or not UnitAffectingCombat("player")
then
return false
end
end

[nilrem2004]

oh, nice workaround, I must change all that soon. Trying to minimise unnecessary code
Tho I didn't find the use of focusing a friendly target on any boss fight yet.

just got exclusive version last night had some time to test it out versus free version just wanted to say its easily the best profile available out there for any class Nilrem did and continues to do a great job on this thing just wanted to add my 2 cents for anyone on the fence about getting it is really worth it thx Nilrem and merry xmas to everyone

[tigole1]

donater herre, if your into affliction raiding this is the best profile for you. Very satisfied and nice guy to deal with.

Hey nilrem. Been using the public profile and it has been great. One thing though. I don't know if you are aware but instead of recasting corruption and unstable affliction you should use felflame to refresh your corruption and unstable affliction. Basically think of it this way. Lets assume exactly 1.5 cast time on unstable affliction 1.5 sec gcd triggered when you use corruption and cast unstable affliction. So in order for you to refresh your dots using the current method you take 1.5+1.5+1.5 secs before you can get back to malefic or drain soul or even a haunt. Whereas if you use fel flame(this only holds true at 90 when you get pandemic) you have to use fel flame twice in the same amount of dot time meaning 1.5+1.5 secs til the next spell. I know this seems like a minute point but its a minor tweak i did to the old Nova profile and am now using in yours. Feel free to correct me if I am wrong. I have only done a rudimentary look at fel flame refreshes but the idea makes sense to me.

Felflame only adds like 6 sec to Cor and UA. Current DoTs on target (seconds remaining)
Agony (14)
Corruption (6)
Unstable Affliction (2)

Casting Felflame would result in...
Agony (13)
Corruption (11)
Unstable Affliction (7)

You would have gained a total of 12 seconds worth of DoTs for 1 global + a noticable amount of mana.

Casting Unstable Affliction and Corruption separately would result in...
Agony (12)
Corruption (27)
Unstable Affliction (15)

For two globals, you now gained over 24 seconds worth of DoTs for a trivial amount of mana. You will end up losing dps if i'm right.

Ty all for best wishes and marry xmas to you all and a happy new year.
@Aleksonfire , Chinaboy is right listen to him he's a wise man :P

Anyways, there prolly won't be any major updates for a couple of days but I'm still checking forum 1-2 times a day for bug reports so no worries
